Holtby is a small village and civil parish in the City of York unitary authority, North Yorkshire, set in the fertile Vale of York a few miles east of York. It retains a distinctly rural feel, with a compact settlement surrounded by arable fields and hedgerows rather than extensive modern housing.
With medieval roots and a handful of historic buildings, Holtby blends an agricultural heritage with a contemporary role as a quiet commuter settlement for the city; local life is defined by farming, a strong small‑community atmosphere and ready access to walking and cycling routes into the surrounding countryside.
